John Doyle Globe and Mail What should be an off-putting premise is nothing of the sort; Markle's sad-sack act is really just an excuse for an observational doc that illuminates how terribly ordinary and a little lonely most people are. Jun 5, 2020 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Markle finds the humor in heartbreak but he also finds the heart in heartbreak. Rated: 3.5/4.0 Sep 23, 2020 Full Review Dan Scully Cinema76 The personal growth that occurs as the project develops more than earns the exploitative nature of the premise. Jun 22, 2020 Full Review Chris Knight National Post The result has connected with viewers. Shoot to Marry was named Breakout Feature Audience Award winner at the Slamdance festival... more recently, the online Canadian Film Festival gave it the Best Feature prize. I'm a little more torn. Rated: 2.5/5 Jun 19, 2020 Full Review Daniel M. Kimmel North Shore Movies Shoot to Marry is a charming addition to a well-trod genre. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 19, 2020 Full Review Allen Adams The Maine Edge [Shoot to Marry] is an occasionally rambling, sometimes cringe-y and always heartfelt document of Markle's quest to find the person who might help him heal his broken heart and give him what he has always wanted - someone to marry. Rated: 4/5 Jun 18, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Funny and moving, Shoot To Marry is an indie doc that delivers. Filmmaker Steve Markle trains his camera on unique and interesting women with hopes of finding enlightenment and maybe even love. Steve shoots with artist Kate, an old crush. In New York, Steve films with Heidi, a brilliant hat-maker. In Toronto where Steve lives, he films with a dominatrix, a rabbi, a massage therapist turned pilot and other fascinating women. Steve longs for the relationship he sees in his parents. They met on a blind date fifty years ago and have been blissfuly married ever since. Steve's attempts to find love with online dating and a personal matchmaker lead to dead ends. The best way to meet interesting women, Steve decides, is to make a documentary about them. Shoot To Marry debuted at the 2020 Slamdance Film Festival where it created buzz and won a major award. It's no surprise that Markle won over audiences in Park City. He has a unique voice and with Shoot To Marry he delivers an indie doc that is raw, deeply personal and highly entertaining. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
